Passenger on wrong flights Lax/ air new zealand?
I am trying to remember a incident that happen on a Though flight from London to lax (on a new zeland airline) this passenger was flying London to Lax and suppose to connect to an Oakland flight (at Lax) they arrived Lax and obey the flight attendants instruction to follow the crowd for those going to "Auckland" but due to the flight attendant accent it sound like Oakland so they didn't realize their error till the plane over over the pacific! when they ask the flight why the flight was taking so long to get to Oakland.. (I looking for information about this incident and what Air zealand has done to prevent this from happening again this happen about 10 to 20 years ago

Same sort of thing happened to my mother once, she was directed to the wrong plane. Luckily she was suspicious and asked one of the cabin staff before the flight left the terminal. That would have been 20+ years ago though. I'd say your incident happened a fair while ago, the automated boarding pass / ticket readers should pick that sort of thing up now.

that shouldnt really happen as they should have a boarding pass and the fact that they should know that Air New Zealand dont even fly to Oakland.....well... i dont doubt your word but that sounds very strange! but since then, you do need a boarding pass to get on any type of flight and im also sure that people at the boarding gate have a lot more common sense!

I remember this well. Air New Zealand just brought the young person back to Oakland. Considered it a one time problem and all they can do is hope is never happens again. So, in answer to your question, they really did nothing, but correct the problem.

It sounds more like an urban legend. The only time I can recall it happening is on an episode of Full House when (i think)Stephanie Tanner, and even possibly Michelle, get on a flight to Auckland.
